Startup Funding: What It’s Going To Take To Get That First Check From An Investor

Throughout this month we have been exploring how startup fundraising is changing and why it will continue to change in 2018.

We start by talking about why you do not want to communicate with an investor when you have an idea, how to evaluate if the investment search makes sense for your business, and in the last episode why it does not matter how big your idea or business is that you're still going to receive many NOs.

After what might seem like endless verifications of reality, I've saved the best episode to the end: let's talk about what it will take to get your first check from an investor;)
